Alec Baldwin, the Hollywood actor at the center of the tragic "Rust" movie set incident, has taken legal action against prosecutors. Baldwin, who was holding a prop gun that discharged and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, has filed a lawsuit claiming negligence on the part of the prosecutors for failing to properly investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting.

According to Baldwin's lawyer, the actor is seeking damages for the emotional distress and professional damage caused by the mishandling of the case. The lawsuit alleges that prosecutors rushed to assign blame to Baldwin without conducting a thorough investigation into the events that led to the tragic accident.

The lawsuit comes in the wake of intense media scrutiny and public backlash against Baldwin following the incident. The actor has maintained his innocence, claiming that he was not responsible for the live round that was mistakenly loaded into the prop gun.

As the trial over the "Rust" movie set tragedy continues, Baldwin's decision to sue prosecutors adds a new layer of complexity to the already high-profile case. The outcome of this legal battle could have far-reaching implications for the future regulation of prop weapons on film sets.
